For this rulebreaker, the primary objective is to get me to type the phrase below, but someone will also need to explain the rule because I think it might be possible to meet the primary objective without actually fully understanding the rule. The phrase you need to get me to type is:

Treat each line like a question, please. I'm just too lazy to put in question marks, LOL.

I am Sam Sam I am

That Sam-I-am! That Sam-I-am! I do not like that Sam-I-am!

Do you like green eggs and ham? I do not like them, Sam-I-am. I do not like green eggs and ham.

Would you like them here or there?

I would not like them here or there. I would not like them anywhere.

I do not like green eggs and ham. I do not like them, Sam-I-am.

Would you like them in a house? Would you like them with a mouse?

I do not like them in a house. I do not like them with a mouse. I do not like them here or there. I do not like them anywhere. I do not like green eggs and ham. I do not like them, Sam-I-am.

Would you eat them in a box? Would you eat them with a fox?

Not in a box. Not with a fox. Not in a house. Not with a mouse. I would not eat them here or there. I would not eat them anywhere. I would not eat green eggs and ham. I do not like them, Sam-I-am.

Would you? Could you? In a car? Eat them! Eat them! Here they are. I would not, could not, in a car.

You may like them. You will see. You may like them in a tree!

I do not like them in a box. I do not like them with a fox. I do not like them in a house. I do not like them with a mouse. I do not like them here or there. I do not like them anywhere. I do not like green eggs and ham. I do not like them, Sam-I-am.

I will not eat them in a house. I do not like them with a mouse. I do not like them here or there. I do not like them ANYWHERE! I do not like green eggs and ham! I do not like them, Sam-I-am.

You do not like them. So you say. Try them! Try them!And you may. Try them and you may, I say.

Sam! If you will let me be, I will try them. You will see.

Say! I like green eggs and ham! I do! I like them, Sam-I-am! And I would eat them in a boat. And I would eat them with a goat...

And I will eat them in the rain. And in the dark. And on a train. And in a car. And in a tree. They are so good, so good, you see!

At Kaylee's request, I have treated each line as a separate, single question

Whew! I'm only halfway through, but I am stopping as these are quite repetitive, and so I don't think it would do you much good for me to keep going.

Is this a question? I am not that smart? Am I that smart? Are you that smart? IAre you? I

Are parts of speech relevant? see belowAre parts of speech relevant? CA

Bob he like? Livingstone I presumeSally she like? Livingstone I presumeMark they like? Livingstone I presumeSteve them like? Livingstone I presume

i'm guessing those are all going to be "Livingstone I presume" -- Proper Noun = Livingstone 99% correctpronoun=I 99% Correctlike(eh?) = Presume well, yes, the word "like" does always = presume when following the rule, but that is not the actual rule, just a result of it.. Close?

So within the categories used to create the answer, the words "Doctor", "Livingstone", "I", and "Presume" were all CA, correct? right. I was originally going to have them count just like other words in their categories, but then I had this great fear that someone was going to start off by repeating my puzzle statement back to me near the beginning of the puzzle. It would have been funny, but I think it would have also thrown off the puzzle.

So we've got proper nouns for Livingstone, Correctand pronouns for I Correct...verbs for "presume"? well, some verbs... And professions for "doctor"? Correct

"Professor Bob he like"? Doctor Livingstone I presumeI see that you're working on punctuation here. So I guess that now it's confession time. I originally did have a rule in my head for punctuation, but I, um, forgot to follow it. So don't worry about the punctuation.

\i:Verbs that are solo actions? they are all solo actions, I suppose, but not all solo actions would applyThat involve thought? yes! I defined it as "verbs that take place within one's head, without action", but yes.Action verbs in general? Quite the opposite}

**SPOILER** Reading across from left to right in a question, I typed "Doctor" for each word that I encountered that represented a profession, "Livingstone" for every proper noun, "I" for every pronoun, and "presume" for every verb that occurs within one's head without physical action. The exceptions to the rule were, of course, "doctor," "Livingstone," "I," and "presume," to avoid the very likely possibility of me having to parrot back answers to people asking me questions about the good Doctor Livingstone. As luck would have it, Kaylee started off with the very fitting (in terms of repetition of certain types of words) tale of Sam-I-am instead, and no one asked me questions about the dear doctor at all, so it turned out to be a non-issue.

Thanks for playing =)
